SAN FRANCISCO, CA – The Bay Club Company (“Bay Club”) announces the acquisition of Griffin Club Los Angeles (“Griffin Club”), a renowned racquet, athletic, aquatic and social club nestled in the heart of West Los Angeles. The move underscores Bay Club’s commitment to cultivating vibrant communities and delivering meaningful, member-centric experiences. Griffin Club joins Bay Club’s dynamic and well-established Los Angeles Campus, which also includes Manhattan Country Club, El Segundo, Santa Monica, and Redondo Beach.
With 30+ current locations and 150,000+ members, this acquisition marks Bay Club’s third major West Coast investment of the year. Alongside the recent 425 Fitness and Harbor Square Athletic Club announcements in the Pacific Northwest, the acquisition of Griffin Club marks a strategic milestone as the company continues its thoughtful expansion.
“Griffin Club’s legacy and location made it an ideal fit for our Los Angeles Campus and broader portfolio,” said Tracy Cioffi, Chief Marketing Officer of The Bay Club Company. “This acquisition reflects our continued investment in fostering community and connection across our clubs. We are committed to creating spaces that bring families, friends, and colleagues together, shaping meaningful communities through shared experiences.”
Founded in 1926 as the Westside Tennis Club, Griffin Club has evolved from a Hollywood retreat into a modern destination for sports and lifestyle, blending nearly a century of history with a complete $30 million rebuild in 2018. Celebrated for its premium facilities and legacy as a social destination, Griffin Club serves as a hub for LA’s active lifestyle community. It features 11 LED-lit tennis and pickleball courts, elite coaching, and a robust calendar of complimentary classes including Pilates, yoga, spin, and barre. Members also enjoy high-end equipment, personal training, upscale locker rooms, two outdoor swimming pools, kids programs, and curated dining—all designed to foster connection and community.
“While we continue expanding into new regions, we remain equally focused on strengthening our foundations and supporting our current campuses,” said Cioffi. “The acquisition of Griffin Club reflects that commitment—bringing its renowned facilities, vibrant community, and third-space ethos into our Los Angeles Campus to further deliver an exceptional active lifestyle experience.”
